2020 Julien Guillot (Vignes du Maynes), Morgon, Les Charmes

There is purity or fruit, and there is the soul of a place. This wine embodies the soul of a place. Julien Guillot brings his signature biodynamic precision to Morgon with this expressive 2020 “Les Charmes.” Sourced from old vines on granitic soils, the wine is fermented with whole clusters, resulting in a beautifully aromatic expression of Gamay. Red and black cherry, violets, and subtle spice glide over a fine, granite-driven structure, showing both charm and depth. Silky yet energetic, this is a standout, terroir-focused Morgon that balances immediate pleasure with the ability to age gracefully.
